Subject: Re: Added info re three missing in WPB
Look, idiot - having a discussion on diving with a stroke like you is
absolutely pointless. You have no clue what you are talking about, and
you make assumptions that we are all idiots, even though you have not
scratched the surface of what we do.

I just did a 250 dive in the ocean with my al 80's with a drysuit, with
approprate weighting - a plate, a v, and my cave light. I can drop the
light if there is a problem, yet I have enough weight to hold me down
empty. 

With a thin westuit, the plate goes to aluminuum, and I use a weight
belt. 

If I am diving deep, I use the drysuit, since it will be cold there
always.

Why is that so tough for a stroke like you to get? Maybe because you
have not been here, done that? Your smartass comments about "being bent
on the surface" are typical of a know-it-all big mouth who has never in
his life done jack.

There is no right way to use the wrong equipment, and only somebody with
your attitude, which is otherwise known as a stroke, would try it. We
don't dive with strokess, as those who do end up dead.
